Oxford Art Factory Espresso Martini Festival

Overview

The 90s were great. That shouldn't be a controversial opinion. Whether you lived through them or have spent the last couple of decades wishing you did — aka bingeing on 90s pop culture — this Oxford Art Factory shindig will indulge your retro urges.

Drinks, tunes, fashion: expect all three at the Oxford Street bar's Espresso Martini Festival from 5pm on Friday, February 7. As you can probably tell from the event name, the drinks portion of the night is dedicated to one very popular beverage: espresso martinis. They'll be available in three flavours — classic, Golden Gaytime and double choc chip — and they'll all be $10. All night.

While you sip on these caffeinated drinks, you'll be unleashing your inner Spice Girl and Backstreet Boy — thanks to tunes by the No Scrub DJs (who are behind the throwback No Scrubs: 90s Early 00s parties). You'll also be getting down to TLC, Destiny's Child, Savage Garden, Usher, Blink-182, No Doubt — we'd keep listing artists, but you all know what you're getting yourselves into.

Of course, it's up to you to make sure the clothing side of thing is covered, and to get into the spirit of the party. If you want to use Mariah Carey as a style icon, it'd be fitting.
